tryActivate

Attempts to activate the skill, reporting whether it actually fired.

A skill with its own gating condition (for example "target below 30% health") returns false when that condition fails. The caller then consumes neither the cooldown nor the damage bonus, so the condition genuinely governs the skill. Without this, a caller can only invoke onActivate and has no way to learn whether anything happened — which previously let gated skills apply their damage bonus on every hit, bypassing their own condition entirely.

Skills that always fire when off cooldown need not override this.
